reads; “Poor Lewis, kind, gentle,
generous, unselfish: Too early
taken from those who loved him and who cherish so fondly the memory of his many
virtues and flattering promise of manly usefulness. It
matters not how long we live, but how. Cease
ye mourning, cease to languish O’er the graves of
those you love: Pain and death and
night and anguish enter not the world above”.
